Dropfleet Commander: Shaltari Battlecruisers
The Ruby class battlecruiser is a highly potent vessel designed for maximum
firepower in a fast, sleek package. It is an excellent interdiction vessel, superlative
in the arts of flanking sweeps and the annihilation of enemy supply convoys behind
the lines.
The Sapphire class is a more specialised vessel conceived for disruption and
close-range engagements. Its pair of ion storm generator banks can inflict crippling
anti-shipping damage with the option for use in the orbital bombardment role.
Additionally, its pair of gravity coils can hurl enemy ships off course.
The Goethite offers a useful a mixture of eldritch weaponry and launch capability. Its
twin Hyperwave Cannons provide extreme firepower with lingering effect, allowing
this technological marvel to slip away and on to the next victim before its prey dies.
The Hematite is, for the Shaltari, an unsubtle and focused sledgehammer. Its single
main armament, a quad battery of Thermal Lance Cannons, can focus a beam of
incandescent fury into the heart of any ship, slaying it with ease.
This box includes:
- 2 Battlecruisers. One of either Ruby or Sapphire can be built. One of either Goethite or Hematite can be built.
- 2 Dropfleet bases
